Director Wang's voice fell, but one of his clan brothers couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and said, "Compared to the situation in the Northland, what authority do we have at all? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it talked about the hearts of many people, and some people echoed: "Yes, looking at the north, there are people and soldiers, and this Youzhou is even richer, I am afraid that it is not inferior to Jiangzuo, and Jiangnan is not as good as the population of the Central Plains, and in the long run, this ......"

Listening to the words of a few people, Director Wang just shook his head, and finally said: "If this northern land develops, it can become a faction, but it will take time in the end, but if the champion Hou can take charge of Jiangzuo's government, he will be able to avoid many detours, and he may have this idea." ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent, each thinking about it, but no one said anything more.

Soon, someone from the Nadu Governor's Mansion came to arrange and led Wang Daoyi to continue north and go to Jixian County.

It's just that this way is much smoother than before, because the official road here is not only paved completely, but also accompanied by rails on the side of the road, and the carriage on which Wang Dao and others are riding runs on this railroad track, which is extremely fast and smooth.

Originally, Director Wang and others thought that they would take advantage of this opportunity to take a good turn in Youzhou and see more of the scenery and people, which can be regarded as collecting intelligence and understanding the people's situation by the way.

As a result, I heard that it was going to be a direct road, and I felt a little regretful in my heart, and felt that I had wasted an opportunity, but now after taking this rail carriage, I immediately became interested and asked.

"This thing is really interesting, I don't know if we can lay some on the south side too, it's also a rare thing."

"Isn't it, it's good to take it out and sit on it when you usually have nothing to do."

"When I see Champion Hou this time, why don't you let him help and get some past."

The people in the envoy group were talking, but some Youzhou guides and officials sitting next to them couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

These small movements were captured by Director Wang, he was silent at first, and after observing the railroad tracks, he was halfway through the journey, and then asked why.

"Prime Minister Wang, don't you know, this rail track must not be taken to the south, don't say that the south, that is, except for the boundary of Youzhou, it may not be able to be laid at present."

Director Wang listened here, and other people were also interested, so they asked in detail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hundreds of people in our envoy group, can now all sit on the rail carriage, gallop all the way, from the border of Youzhou to Jixian County, but only half a day, this speed, such a number of people, don't you want to think about it, is it just the galloping of this horse?"

"What else is there to do?"

Before the others could understand it, Director Wang had already come to his senses, he patted the seat under him, and said, "But the reason why this carriage is strong and the track is tough?" ”

"Exactly!" This Youzhou official couldn't help but praise, "He is worthy of being the prime minister of the imperial court, and he is really extraordinary." After speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with this, so he quickly changed his words and said in detail: "Our carriage can withstand thirty or forty people, so although the envoy group is large, counting the guards, it is only a matter of five or six cars." ”

When everyone heard this, they recalled that it was really a few cars that pulled so many people, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

Then, the official continued: "Moreover, these people are all in the same car, pulled by horses and galloping repeatedly, but they are all on the rails, if the rails are a little more brittle and soft, they will inevitably be deformed, where can they be used for a long time?" Therefore, these rails are specially smelted, which can withstand the sun and wind without changing, and the carriages and horses go back and forth without moving! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, they could also figure out the truth inside, and they knew how difficult it was.

It's just that there are a few people such as Director Wang, who heard something deeper from these words, their faces changed drastically, and they couldn't help but look at the official, but they saw that this person's expression was as usual, as if he was unintentional, so he suppressed the surprise and worry in his heart, pretended to be nothing, and continued to listen.

He didn't know the specific technology, but as a person in charge, he had been riding for a long time, and of course he had a lot of things to see, and at this moment he was told as an anecdote, and told it to the literati on the car, so that the atmosphere in the car slowly became lively.

As he spoke, the official mentioned another thing: "I heard that the capital is testing the tin can horse recently, if it is done, even the horse pulling the cart can go, and now the cart looks fast, but in fact it is still limited by animal power, I have changed three horses on the way, which is proof." ”

Someone asked curiously, "Doesn't the tin horse need to be replaced?" ”

The official replied: "I don't know much about this, but I know that this iron can has infinite horsepower and can travel 2,000 miles a day, which is transformed from the wooden ox and flowing horse made by the original champion Hou!" ”

Someone else asked, "But Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horse?" ”

The official shook his head and said: "It's not from Wuhou, it's made by my family's champion Hou, it's just that its name is still used, and now all of them have been changed to tin horses, if you have the opportunity, you may be able to see one or two horses in Jixian County, and then you will know what it is!" ”

Saying this, many people nodded their heads, but in fact, they didn't pay attention to it at all, they paid more attention to some academic articles, and it was inevitable to despise these iron can horses and the like.

But Director Wang paid attention to it, secretly remembered, and thought that when he arrived in Jixian County, he must find an opportunity to see what the tin can horse looks like, even if he can't see it, then he has to go and see what the wooden ox flowing horse made by the champion Hou is special.

After all, his position is enough to know a lot of secrets, and naturally he is also very clear that in the first battle of the Xuanjia Army to destroy the Huns, he used wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport baggage, which is said to have saved a lot of tossing, and now there is a tin can horse, so he cares more.

In everyone's different minds, these railcars finally arrived at their destination.

Immediately, a welcoming official came over and introduced a few people: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have already arranged a place for you to live, and later, the Hou Ye will come back to see you." ”

"I'm tired." Wang Dao and the others were then led to the residence, and as soon as they moved in, they immediately realized the difference, and even the well-informed Wang Dao was stunned by the many furnishings and objects in the house.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the water pipe, a fixed time every day, there will be clear water to draw, then you can use this tank to pick it up, other objects, such as the pendulum and other things, have their own uses, if you want to know, I will explain them one by one, but you are tired of the journey, it is best to rest first, and you can meet my marquis."
